The battle for the top spots in the Premier Leafue has intensified with each passing week, and the matches that will take place this weekend will be no exception.
The top three teams are only separated by two points, which means that a loss or draw by any of them could see their title hopes being reduced. Liverpool and Arsenal will play away from home, while Manchester City is set to face a tough rival at Etihad Stadium.
Elsewhere in the league, Aston Villa and Tottenham will continue their battle for fourth place, which currently sees the Villains holding on to that spot. Last wek's loss for Postecoglou's men did no favors to their cause, but they have a chance to put some pressure on Unai Emery's club this week.
Elsewhere in the league, the battle to escape relegation gave Everton a big boost thanks to the league's decision to restore some points to their tally, but the job is yet to be done for Sean Dyche's men, who have not won any of their last five wins. Brentford and Nottingham will be stalking them in case they drop points, and the same will go for Luton Town, who are five points away from the Toffees trying to stay afloat.
Here are the main things to keep in mind ahead of this weekend's matches.

Manchester City vs Manchester United - The Manchester Derby will pair up the Cityzens as big favorites to win the clash, mainly because of their form and also after the recent results between these bitter rivals. The team led by Guardiola has won five out of their last six meetings in all comps, outscoring the Red Devils 18-7 in that process. On the other hand, Erik Ten Hag's men get to this game fresh off a late win in their FA Cup tie against Nottingham Forest, although that might not be enough motivation to see them claiming a big win at the Etihad, where they have not been able to claim any wins since 2021.
